Sewing
Waiting for 10AM
If you love quilting, or just hoarding fabric as much as I do, I’m sure you know about the Fat Quarter Shop. Because of their amazing selection, it’s one of my favorite places to order fabric online. The best part is their Flash Sale page, which gets updated at 10AM every day. That means I…
Read MoreSpontaneous Corrections
Do you ever have one of those days where you’re working on a project and do something completely stupid that you know better than to do? I had one of those last night. I wanted to make myself up a zipper pouch for my purse, and settled on some scrap tablecloth vinyl for the outside…
Read MoreFoxy Scarf
It was selfish sewing week a couple weeks ago, so I used that as an excuse to finally get around to making myself a fun infinity scarf. I used a great linen blend Japanese print fabric, backed with a teal knit, finishing the look with some vintage pom pom trim. I absolutely love how it…
Read MoreWIP Wednesday
This week is another calm before the storm type week as I wait for the results of voting from last week’s Project Quilting Challenge- Fav Fabric. You can vote for my quilt, and any of the others you like (up to 5 votes) over at Persimon Dreams. I have done a little sewing though. I…

Yet another week has gone by with my regular sewing machine in the shop. It will be 3 full weeks on Saturday. But the good news is, that gave me a reason to talk my husband into actually getting my Featherweight oiled. So, I’ve been using it to create this week’s Project Quilting challenge quilt.…
Read MoreDenim Book Covers – #AnnaInSpain
Today, I’m happy to be sharing another one of Anna’s projects- a pair of book covers made from upcycled denim jeans. How cool is that? These book covers are made from jeans panels with simple pocket style slits in the interior to hold the book cover. This is a super fun project, and I’m so…
Read MoreWilmington Prints Trunk Show
I was lucky enough to attend the Wilmington Prints Trunk Show at Let’s Sew on Valentine’s Day. It was a lot of fun to see some of the great things we could make with Wilmington’s yardage and pre-cut 2.5″ strips. The Square Knot quilt was lovely and features a lot of the essentials lines which…
Read MoreWorks in Progress
This week I feel like I’ve gotten a lot of sewing done, at least as compared to last week. I completed another round of project quilting- a post about my completed project will be up on Friday. And I did some testing with my new flower stitch foot. Apparently I’m not smart enough to use…
Read MoreWorks in Progress
Nothing completed this week, but I made some progress in using up my scrap Christmas fabric. I made a couple of Christmas ornaments that match my quilt, and pulled left over scraps for a second, simpler quilt for the couch. I’m also working on picking out blocks to go in the bunny medallion quilt, as…
